Black Bean and Sweet Potato Thai Fusion Tacos

Part of what I love about Thai food is the mix of flavors – some heat, tang from limes, sweet from coconut, and cooling cilantro, it just all goes so well together. I had some peanut butter, coconut milk and jalapeño also rolling around the fridge and I thought it would work perfectly to create a Thai fusion taco.

step 1
Mince one of the Garlic (1 clove).
step 1 Mince one of the Garlic (1 clove).
step 2
Slice 1/4 inch off of each end of the Lime (1) and cut it in half, lengthwise. Juice one of the halves and set the other cut side-down​​ on the cutting board. Slice it at an angle, lengthwise to make lime wedges and set aside.
step 3
Sauté Sweet Potato (1) in a greased skillet over medium heat until they start to brown a bit. I like to use spray olive oil to keep the amount of oil down.

step 5
Add Low-Fat Coconut Milk (4 Tbsp), Simply Organic® Cayenne (1/4 tsp), and Simply Organic® Cumin (1 tsp). Mix well. Turn the heat down to low to keep the filling warm if you’re not quite ready to serve yet. This will also give the flavors a chance to mesh together.
step 6
To make the Carrot and Kale Slaw, add the Kale (1 cup) and Carrot (1/2) to a large bowl. Add Lime Juice and 1/2 teaspoon of Sesame Oil (1 tsp) to the bowl. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
step 7
To make the Peanut Sauce, cut the Jalapeño Pepper (1) in half and remove the seeds. Place the Peanut Butter (4 Tbsp), jalapeno, a Garlic (1 clove), juice from the rest of the lime, Low-Fat Coconut Milk (2 Tbsp) and a tablespoon of water in the food processor. Pulse until the jalapeño and garlic are chopped up and everything is well mixed together and incorporated.

step 8
Warm the Small Corn Tortillas (10) by placing them in a pan over high heat for about 10 seconds on each side.
step 9
Put the sweet potato and black beans mixture in first, top with slaw and peanut sauce, and garnish with a few bits of Fresh Cilantro (to taste). Serve with Lime Wedge and enjoy!
